Joao, hi! I cannot evin begin to say how grateful I am for the chance of meeting you and your warm family(please say hi n sorry to your dad, I still couldnt find his pen!)..I truly love your thoughts and works that you put here in the blog. Please keep up your gift of drawing and word-weaving. Truly subarashii^^

How was the trip to Bromo and Tana Toraja? You're going back today, right? Have a safe flight back.. waiting for new posts from you!

Hey, Saras!Yay, I won the "subarashii" label!How cool is that?For me, Dewi Homestay was by far the friendliest place I found, in the whole month. I loved meeting you and your charming aunt. Bromo and Tana Toraja were both incredible, in very different ways. I should restart posting here soon and I want to mail you, too. So, back in Japan? Miss that smile of yours.j

yea, in Japan now, how i miss the warm climate of Indonesia;p n you actually inspired me to go to Borobudur again, me n the 5 a.m minibus packed with tourists, and i'm so glad that i did. i was like, 'whoa.' here there n everwhere in Borobudur, coz my last time there was years ago. :) and i could still clearly picture your comic face when you went back from Borobudur to Dewi Homestay.. looking so excited. =) and, oh yes, i'm climbing Bromo next year's summer. (I've got to, especially after meeting you who already went to Bromo, Tana Toraja, read Kakawin Sutasoma n knew exactly that Hanoman is the son of Rara Anjani, which, by the way, I'm the exact opposite! I'm ashamed.)

hey, what the hell happened to you? did you get eaten by cannibals? no one's heard whether you're alive or dead. hopefully you're just hiding from your enemies. I'm starting this site soon in an effort to get the international community involved in the search: www.findjoaolemos.com.

Phantom » if I may quote Twain, " the report of my death is an exaggeration ". At least so far, I would say. Moved by your care, I actually scanned part of my travel diary and made a new post with it, which I leave to your no doubt educated consideration. Yours, j
